Scope and Content

From the Collection: The collection emphasizes Judson Crews' career as a poet and a printer. There are four topical series; Memoirs, Correspondence, Manuscripts and Miscellaneous (which includes business and personal papers). There are also addition(s) to the colleciton.

Included in his correspondence are numerous letters from and to southwestern writers. Of special interest in both his manuscripts and memoirs are materials on his interaction with Henry Miller and the post-WW II artist colony at Big Sur, CA.

The memoirs, which number almost 6,000 pages, graphicly illustrate the artists emotional, artistic, social and sexual growth. The collection also includes numerous unpublished manuscripts by Judson Crews and others.

Materials added in 2018 include Crews' writings, correspondence and related materials, published works, and audio recordings.

Photographs by Judson Crews and others have been transferred to CSWR Pictorial Collections.
